Strange lines between tiles when rendered
« on: August 07, 2010, 02:20:54 pm »
So here's the visual problem I am having (lines between tiles):




And here's my map code:

Code: [Select]
#include "cMap.h"

cMap::cMap(RenderWindow& A){
App = &A;
mapDims.x = 32;
mapDims.y = 24;

loadTiles();
genMap();
}


cMap::~cMap(){
delete [] tiles;
delete [] imgs;

for(uint16 y=0; y < mapDims.y; y++)
delete [] map[y];
delete [] map;
}


//Load tile images
void cMap::loadTiles(){
imgs = new Image[1];
tiles = new Sprite[1];

//Load tiles
if(imgs[0].LoadFromFile("textures\\grass.png")){
cout << "*Loaded asset: \"grass.png\" (" << imgs[0].GetWidth() << " x " << imgs[0].GetHeight() << ")" << endl;

imgs[0].CreateMaskFromColor(Color(255,0,255,255));
tiles[0].SetImage(imgs[0]);
}else
cout << "*Could not load: \"grass.png\"" << endl;
}


//Generate temp map for dev purposes
void cMap::genMap(){
map = new mTile*[mapDims.y];

for(uint16 y=0; y < mapDims.y; y++){
map[y] = new mTile[mapDims.x];

//Fill data
for(uint16 x=0; x < mapDims.x; x++){
map[y][x].id = 0;
map[y][x].clip = 0;
}
}
}



//Draw the map
void cMap::draw(){
uint16 ymax = (App->GetHeight() / _UNIT_), xmax = (App->GetWidth() / _UNIT_);

for(uint16 y=0; y < ymax; y++){
for(uint16 x=0; x < xmax; x++){
tiles[map[y][x].id].SetPosition((float)(x * _UNIT_), (float)(y * _UNIT_));

App->Draw(tiles[map[y][x].id]);
}
}
}



I'm thinking SFML is setting OGL up to do something strange while rendering things. Unless I'm dumb or just don't understand something here, I checked my math to be correct and believe SFML is doing something to cause this.

Also, I setup my window as such:

Code: [Select]
App.Create(VideoMode(1024,768,32), "Neptune Alpha", Style::Close);

Any info on this? Thanks!  :D

Ughhhh

After a lot of research I figured it was OGL smoothing. Why is this on by default? Is there any way to globally turn it off?

sf::Image::SetSmooth, but you'll have to do this on each sf::Image.

Well, he could use the SFML src, change it and recompile it. However, if you want SetSmooth to be true, you will have to set it manually after doing so.

You can try to create a custom class inheriting sf::Drawable, and in the Render function, after the renderer->SetTexture(), you add
Code: [Select]
glTexParameterf( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_S, GL_REPEAT );
glTexParameterf( GL_TEXTURE_2D, GL_TEXTURE_WRAP_T, GL_REPEAT );


It will ensure the extremities of your drawable won't be transparent.

It's easier to call image.Bind() and do it once, there's no need to create a drawable class ;)

And he's probably not using SFML 2 (there's no renderer in SFML 1).

Anyway, just calling image.SetSmooth(false) will be much easier.
